More Bloodlines in the Indian subcontinent

[adityakb]

I love the Bloodline feature and the Holy Fury expansion but the whole of Indian subcontinent has just one Bloodline (of the Pala dynasty) and that too without much interesting attributes. Looks like the eastern region wasn't given much attention while the bloodlines were scoped in.
We can have so many more interesting bloodlines here.
For ex:
1) Bloodline of Chandragupta II of the Guptas who defeated the Sakas
2) Nagabhatta of the Prathiharas who decisively defeated the initial caliphate invasions in the subcontinent
3) Bloodline of the Cholas who created a huge maritime empire in the Indochinese region

Agreed. I was very surprised that the Gupta didn't get a unique bloodline.

That said, the Chola bloodline IS in the game.

Aren't the Pandya important in Hindu scripture as well? In the Mahabharata if I remember rightly.

Those are the Pandavas. Pandyas are an important Tamilian dynasty and held power well into the early modern period but have no special religious significance.

Maybe something for last Sakas in India?

Ahhh right my mistake, thank you

Let's not forget about the Karkota dynasty, either: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lalitaditya_Muktapida . A dynastic bonus to relations with China would be rather fitting.
